Some work suggests that bullying due to stigma is worse than bullying not due to stigma. We have explored youth’s experiences of stigma-based bullying, the impacts of stigma-based bullying on health, and interventions to address stigma-based bullying.

Current Projects

We do not have any current projects on stigma-based bullying.

Past Projects

We reviewed the literature on stigma-based bullying, with a focus on interventions that have been developed to address stigma-based bullying in different settings. Read about our systematic review in this paper.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) students experience significant bullying that undermines their mental and physical health. We worked with Sari Reisner, ScD and colleagues in Boston to increase the capacity of school health professionals (including school nurses, psychologists, guidance counselors, and others) to address LGBTQ student bullying.
